Hey all,
I have never used a chainsaw before. I have had about a million times where I SHOULD have went out and purchased one for a job, but went at it old school with a hand saw and clippers.
I currently live on a 1 acre property that needs some small trees cut down and some brush cleared up. I'm land shopping for 25+ acres to buy and build a home on and it seems stupid to buy a small saw that I can't continue to use.
Budget is tight at around $300-350. I have always used stihl trimmers and blowers, but I am not set on any brand name. Is buying a used pro saw my best option? The newer saws seem to have some really silly things/gimmicks added, but that may just be my perception.
Thank you
Aaron
